2 NEWSLETTER 8 JUNE 19, 2015 Hello, once more, with this the eighth Staffordshire Hoard Newsletter. It is a great pleasure to be editing the newsletter again and catching up with all the new developments and discoveries about the Hoard, welcoming new personnel to the team and saying farewell to others. This was all brought to a happy conclusion early this year when EH (now Historic England) commissioned Barbican to carry out Stage 2. We are now five months into the 30 month programme, and the final report is due to be submitted to the referees two years from now. The Barbican website has a wealth of detail about what was achieved in Stage 1 and what we hope to do in Stage 2. It also has the final Project Design for this stage of the project which includes the Assessment Chris wrote summarising our state of knowledge at the end of Stage 1. All of this can be accessed at together with details of who is in the team carrying out Stage 2. As summer is here (apart from the weather) I thought you might be amused by the following, particularly all those who have been labouring to categorise the If you read the PD, and get as far as Section 16, you will discover that we various foils. don t have all the money needed to complete the project as originally scoped. Though we have over 300,000 for this stage guaranteed, another 100,000 or so is needed. The owners are embarking on a vigorous fund-raising campaign, so we are hoping they are successful. We shall be making the decision of what can be done, and what has to be excluded, at the end of this year when we see how the fundraising is going. As ever, thank you to all the contributors.

One panel shows three helmeted warriors with spear, swords and shields moving to the left. The other panel shows armed, helmeted

4 Warriors moving to the left warriors, with smaller up-raised shields, moving to the right (see composite photographs above and below). Whilst we cannot be certain how these panels were arranged, parallels with Swedish helmets would suggest that they were positioned above the helmet-band, each side of the helmet showing the warriors marching in sequence towards the front. Progress has also been made in locating and positioning more fragments of the encircling helmet-band of kneeling warriors, and the containing silver tray which was secured to the helmet rim. The overall length of the helmet-band will provide some indication of the size of the helmet. It is surmise at present whether the zoomorphic frieze of linked beaked quadrupeds was positioned above the kneeling warriors, or it derived from another helmet. There is much sorting and interpretation still to be undertaken. Challenges lie ahead, particularly in relation to the range of Style II decoration, but significant new pieces have been located to add to our understanding and appreciation of the iconography and stylistic variety of the die-impressed sheets. More fragments associated with the equestrian warrior are presenting intriguing possibilities that there were further figures in the panel. George Speake

5 Warriors moving to the right CONSERVATION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF THE HOARD HELMET FOILS. It s been an intense couple of months working on the foils of the Staffordshire Hoard. When I started on 1 April, I was confronted with a stack of boxes filled with smaller boxes that all contained fragments of embossed foil, some less than a square millimetre. While reconstructing these fragments of gold and silver was a new project for me, I ve worked with precious metals for a long time. Before returning to university I was an independent jeweller, designing and creating works in silver and gold. Later as an undergraduate I had the opportunity to curate a collection of bronze axes, some of which were 5,000 'Before' - the boxes of foil fragments

6 years old. From that moment on I was hooked on ancient metals. I worked in the university arts and sculpture foundry in order to cast my own replica axes, and I had an internship at the Science Museum of Minnesota where I re-catalogued and conserved the metals collection there. After getting my degree in Minnesota, I came to the University of Sheffield to complete a masters and PhD in archaeometallurgy. I moved on from bronze axes, and for my thesis I explored the tools and techniques used by the metal artisans of the Bronze Age. Now I ve jumped ahead to Anglo Saxon times to apply my skills as a metalsmith and archaeologist to reassemble the foils that are part of the Staffordshire Hoard. are long and snaky, and if you look closely, they have a sort of skinny foreleg that wraps around the body of the next creature. Unlike the Warrior foils there wasn t a border marking the beginning or and of each section, so the first part of the task was to figure out what the original design looked like. In order to make these foils, a metalsmith makes a die, a sturdy plate made of bronze or perhaps bone or antler. The design can be directly carved onto the surface of the die, or a die can be made of wax and then cast in bronze. Once the die is made, the smith takes a thin sheet of metal and places it over the die. A piece of leather or lead is placed over the sheet metal and then the layers are hammed so that the sheet metal is pushed into the die, making an impressed design on the surface. In order to figure out what the die looked like, I had to sort out all the duck-like creatures. It didn t take long to notice that they had individual features. Some had round heads and others were cone-shaped. Some had long, skinny feet; some had short, fat feet. I made a list of all the different features I could recognise and then looked to see how often they repeated. One duck was different than the rest in that his back and foot were Meet the experts day 2015: sharing the foils with the incomplete. I recognised that this must have been the first public duck on the die. Because the ducks are interlaced and I started by getting familiar with each and every fragment and it wasn t long before I there are no borders dividing the design could recognise and sort them into the dif- into sections, the incomplete duck at the ferent friezes. The first project I worked beginning of the die would have to fit on was the Frieze of the Beaked closely to the last duck in order to Quadrupeds, also known affectionately as continue the sequence. In addition, the the Ducks. It s hard to imagine what else beaded border above the last duck had a they could be, unless they re geese. They couple of slightly larger beads. They were have long quacking beaks, a curved neck, larger because the smith had used them to and paddle-shaped feet, but their bodies line the foil up for the next

7 Ducks sequence ' After' - the foils sequence completed sequence in the continuing design. Once I had found one edge of the die it was relatively easy to get my ducks in a row in fact row after row. An entire sequence of five ducks was repeated to make a long, narrow foil of about 57 centimetres, which is pretty close to the length needed for a foil to go around the edge of a helmet. What a helmet that must have been! BMAG NEWS The team at BMAG is now at full strength, we have:peter McElhinney who is looking at the organic and inorganic remains in the hoard. Giovanna Fregni who is reconstructing the die impressed strips. Ellie Blakelock who is looking at the silver alloys and some of the gold construction elements. We also have two conservators, Kayleigh Fuller, and Lizzie Miller who is reconstructing and conserving the pieces, along with student Rachel Altpeter who has come to us from UCL for 10 months. The steel helmet would have been covered in gleaming gold foils and panels held in place by heavier gold strips. The panels depicted scenes of marching warriors with spears and swords. In another panel, warriors attack a horse and rider. And then finally we have a gold frieze of ducks? Well, we call them ducks, or beaked The team has also carried out a meet the quadrupeds, but maybe they really are experts day at BMAG, where the public geese. Or perhaps they are dragons or some other fierce mythical Anglo Saxon beasts. But whether they re ducks or dragons, they are another fascinating piece in the story of the Staffordshire Hoard.

K1387: niello x 30 Peter, Kayleigh and Lizzie with future conservators Great progress has been made on all fronts with new discoveries and objects coming together week by week. A couple of the highlights include, the frieze Giovanna has described, and the elaborate pommel K1387 (illustrated below) with niello biting animals on one side.

9 A POSSIBLE SWORD HILT SET This pommel [K39, K1007] and pair of hilt-collars [K160, K186, K1364, K595, K953, K304] in silver represents a possible set from a sword-hilt. One of the collars was whole, but the other parts have been reassembled from seven fragments. each collar. The Style II art dates the set to the late 6thor early 7th century. Whilst it is possible the suite was made in an Anglo-Saxon workshop, parallels for the pommel from the Continent and Scandinavia, mean that it might possibly indicate an imported sword. Chris Fern THE STAFFORDSHIRE HOARD PROGRAMME: NEWS AND EVENTS *Dr David Symons, Curator of Archaeology and Numismatics at Birmingham Museums Trust retired in March. Dave has been involved with the hoard since it arrived at the museum in 2009, and was a long-standing member of the Research Advisory Panel.

By coincidence this period was my first encounter with the Hoard as, whilst I was at Liverpool, I was involved in the radiography of the blocks of soil to make an initial assessment of the quantity of precious metal in them for the Treasure process.

I have been an archaeological illustrator for thirteen years, during which time my photography has taken on a gradually more prominent role in my professional (and personal) life. Between 2009 and 2012 I studied and practised cultural heritage radiography, with a focus on exploring the range of filmless capture systems on the market, and many of the I would just like to add to Jenni's valediction to Dave Symons. We were at university together and he seemed like a permanent fixture at BMT and was always most helpful in providing access to the museum collections. I know he has thoroughly enjoyed his time with the Hoard as one of the many 'foil sorters', amongst many other things, and as a regular speaker to local societies. We wish him well in his retirement.
